Light Sleepers - how does Santa deal with this?

[AwesomeFoursome]

Santa always left our presents under the tree and we do the same with our kids. If I put them at the end of the bed they would wake up and want them in the middle of the night lol.

[Ca Plane Pour Moi]

By not existing. It gets Santa out of lots of problems, that.

If I remember my poem correctly (should do as I'll be telling it to DS in a few days...)

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

I'd be putting stockings by the fireplace to avoid this.

[*TripleJ*]

for us pressies were always in the lounge under the tree and our stockings used to get hung on our door after we went to sleep we were allowed these as soon as we woke up and they almost always had fruit in them

[Glamourcide]

Could Santa slip the kids a roofie before bed to help them get all the sleep they need for the coming day of blasting around playing with their cool new gear?
(I mean, anything's worth a try, ain't it?)



I've always been a super-heavy sleeper but Santa always left our stuff under the tree on Christmas Eve - it saved him time because the tree was right in front of the window so he just had to reach in and drop them off, didn't even have to get out of his sleigh. Plus mum would have gone nuts if Santa's dirty old boots had left prints all over her nice floors
Sorry I don't have any decent advice... but this thread has made me realise it might have been the worry of waking us might have been why the Easter Bunny stopped laying eggs at the end of my bed and made us haul outdoors and go on a hunt instead

If he's old enough to read him that poem that Ryn quoted, then that would explain why his stocking has to go somewhere like a chimney...maybe near a stove with rangehood, or a skylight?
